9 II. SAFETY GENERAL MANDATORY! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner s manual. Your scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Mega Motion provides an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the scooter user. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of scooter to be used is the responsibility of the scooter user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.). The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Mega Motion Provider in the instruction process for the use of the product. There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the scooter user will need to practice operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a scooter user in various daily living activities. As you begin using your scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain. Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to operating the scooter safely. MODIFICATIONS Mega Motion has designed and engineered your scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of accessories is available from your authorized Mega Motion Provider to further customize your scooter to better suit your needs and/or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove, or disable any feature, part, or function of your scooter. WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way not authorized by Mega Motion. Do not use accessories if they have not been tested or approved for Mega Motion products. REMOVABLE PARTS WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move your scooter by any of its removable parts, including the armrests, seat, or shroud. Mega Motion recommends use of only solid, nonremovable frame components such as scooter securement points or the front and rear frame weldments to lift or move your scooter. WARNING! Lifting the scooter should be accomplished with no fewer than three people, one at the front and two at the rear of the unit. PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. Mega Motion recommends that you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely. Endeavor X 9

10 II. SAFETY Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter: Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kpa air pressure rating indicated on each tire if equipped with pneumatic tires. Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded. Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly. Check the brakes. Check battery charge. If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Mega Motion Provider for assistance. TIRE INFLATION If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of your scooter. WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kpa air pressure rating indicated on each tire be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain the psi/bar/kpa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure. WARNING! Inflate your scooter tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tire. NOTE: If the tires on your scooter list the psi rating only, use the following conversion formulas to find the bar or kpa rating: bar = psi x , kpa = psi x WEIGHT LIMITATIONS Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information. Keep in mind that the maximum weight capacity includes the combined weight of the user and any accessories mounted to the scooter. MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity for your scooter. Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty. Mega Motion will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations. WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Carrying passengers on your scooter may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall. INCLINE INFORMATION More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your scooter. Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline. Take wide swings with your scooter around any tight corners. If you do that, the scooter s rear wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners. When driving down a ramp, keep the scooter s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely controlled descent. Avoid sudden stops and starts Endeavor X

11 II. SAFETY When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then push the throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent. WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in freewheel mode especially while seated on it or standing next to it. WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline. WARNING! Do not drive your scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down an incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline. WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves). WARNING! Even though your scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than those listed in Specifications Appendix, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications. Doing so could cause instability in your scooter. Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do not necessarily share the same standard percent of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for scooters. Tests were conducted with the scooter s seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use the specification table information as a guideline. See Section Appendix I - Specifications. Your scooter s ability to travel up inclines is affected by your weight, your scooter s speed, your angle of approach to the incline and your scooter setup. WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is listed in the Specifications Appendix may put your scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip. WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 13 lbs. (6 kg). Never fill the front or rear basket with contents exceeding 13 lbs. (6 kg). Endeavor X 11

12 II. SAFETY When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 1 and 2. This shifts the center of gravity of you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability. NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the powered scooter may "roll back" approximately 3 feet (1 meter) before the brake engages. If the throttle control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered scooter may "roll back" approximately 3 feet (1 meter) before the brake engages. Figure 1. Normal Driving Position Figure 2. Increased Stability Driving Position CORNERING INFORMATION Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your scooter from tipping. WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of gravity. When using your scooter at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. BRAKING INFORMATION Your scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems: Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/stop position. Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when power is removed from the system for any reason Endeavor X

13 II. SAFETY OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions dry, level surfaces composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Mega Motion recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas. Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces. Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear. Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand. Do not use your scooter in fresh or salt water. Do not use your scooter at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean. If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface. PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS WARNING! You should not operate your scooter on public streets and roadways. Be aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your scooter. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution. STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.) WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.). WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is inordinately high. WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed backward down any step, curb, or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip. WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A. WARNING! Even though your scooter may be capable of handling greater obstacles, Mega Motion recommends that you do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than 2 in. (5 cm). Doing so could cause instability in your scooter. CURB CURB Figure 3. Correct Curb Approach Figure 3A. Incorrect Curb Approach Endeavor X 13

14 II. SAFETY INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS Exposure of your scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your scooter, proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your scooter before storing, charging, or operating your scooter. PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery surfaces can cause damage to the scooter and electrical system. Maintain and store your scooter in a dry and clean condition. WARNING! Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature of upholstered and non-upholstered items on the scooter, possibly resulting in skin irritation. Exercise caution when using your scooter in extremely hot or cold conditions or when exposing your scooter to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. FREEWHEEL MODE Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when engaged, allows the scooter to be pushed. For more information about how to place your scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see III. Your Scooter. WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged. Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface. Ensure the key is removed from the key switch. Stand to the side of the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a scooter to do this. After you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive mode to lock the brakes. An added feature built into the scooter is push-too-fast protection which safeguards the scooter against gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode. Push-too-fast operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists: If the key is switched off while in freewheel mode, the scooter s controller activates regenerative braking when the scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed. In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor. If the key is switched on while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any speed. This prevents the scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel lever inadvertently be released while driving the scooter. WARNING! Mega Motion recommends that you do not disconnect the batteries when the scooter is in freewheel mode as this may interfere with the function of the controller. STAIRS AND ESCALATORS Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator. WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. DOORS Determine if the door opens toward or away from you. Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar. Drive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your scooter gently and slowly backwards to pull the door open Endeavor X

15 II. SAFETY ELEVATORS Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s). If you are in the doorway of a elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen. Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors. NOTE: If your scooter s turning radius is greater than 60 in. (152.4 cm), it may be difficult to maneuver in elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your scooter in small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem. LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS If you will be transporting your scooter during travel, you may find it necessary to use a vehicle-mounted lift system or elevation product to aid in transportation. Mega Motion recommends that you closely review the warnings, instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/ elevation product before using that product. WARNING! Not all lift systems/elevation products are rated for use with an occupied mobility device. Mega Motion recommends that you do not remain seated in your scooter when it is being used in connection with any type of lift system/elevation product unless: That product is rated for occupied use by the manufacturer. You are able to occupy your mobility device in strict conformity with the warnings, instructions, specifications, and safety guidelines set forth by the manufacturer. WARNING! Always turn off the power to the unit when you are being transferred via an elevation product. Failure to do so may result in accidental throttle control lever contact, resulting in unintended movement and personal injury or product damage. BATTERIES In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling. WARNING! Scooter batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and avoid lifting beyond your capacity. WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery. WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Protective caps should be installed over all battery terminals. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged. BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and contact your local waste disposal agency or authorized Mega Motion Provider for instructions on disposal and battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action. Endeavor X 15

16 II. SAFETY PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle control lever contact. MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT Mega Motion recommends that you do not remain seated in your scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle. The scooter should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with batteries removed and/or properly secured. In addition, all removable scooter parts, including the armrests, seat, and shroud should be removed and/or properly secured during motor vehicle transport. WARNING! Although your scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts fastened securely. WARNING! Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. WARNING! Always be sure your scooter and its batteries are properly secured when it is being transported. Batteries should be secured in an upright position and protective caps should be installed on the battery terminals. Batteries should not be transported with any flammable or combustible items. GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips when getting onto and off of your scooter: Remove the key from the key switch. Ensure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. See III. Your Scooter. Make certain that the seat is fixed into place. Pivot the armrests up to make getting onto and off of the scooter easier. WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to prevent the scooter from tipping. WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the scooter armrests and do not use the armrests for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the scooter to tip, resulting in a fall from the scooter. WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the scooter to tip Endeavor X

17 II. SAFETY REACHING AND BENDING Avoid reaching or bending while driving your scooter. Bending forward creates the risk of accidental throttle control lever contact. Bending to the side while seated creates the risk of tipping. It is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping. Mega Motion recommends that the scooter user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified attendant. WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the scooter deck or from either side of the scooter. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the scooter and cause your scooter to tip. PROHIBITED! Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Be aware that loose fitting clothing can become caught in drive tires. POSITIONING BELTS Your authorized Mega Motion Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your scooter safely. WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your scooter, make sure it is fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the scooter. PRESCRIPTION DRUGS/PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her scooter. This includes awareness of safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations. WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your ability to operate your scooter in a safe manner. ALCOHOL/SMOKING The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her scooter. This includes awareness of safety issues while under the influence of alcohol or while smoking. WARNING! Do not operate your scooter while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this may impair your ability to drive safely. WARNING! Mega Motion strongly recommends that you do not smoke cigarettes while seated in your scooter, although the scooter has passed the necessary testing requirements for cigarette smoking.

18 II. SAFETY FLAMMABILITY PRECAUTIONS WARNING! Even though the plastics used on your scooter have been tested and have passed the applicable flammability standards, Mega Motion recommends that you do not expose your scooter to open flames. WARNING! Replace worn or damaged upholstery immediately to reduce the risk of fire hazard. WARNING! Be aware that washing of upholstered items may reduce the resistance to flammability of the fabric. ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI) WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can have an adverse effect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles. Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters and medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to the control system. Every electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/M. WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of radio transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility vehicle due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your mobility vehicle and avoid coming into close proximity of radio and TV stations. WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the electrically-powered mobility vehicle can increase the susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your scooter in any way not authorized by Mega Motion. WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance of other electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems. NOTE: If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn your scooter off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Mega Motion at MEGA-508 to report the incident Endeavor X

23 III. YOUR SCOOTER Main Circuit Breaker (Reset Button) When the voltage in the batteries becomes low or your scooter is heavily strained because of excessive loads, the main circuit breaker may trip to protect the motor and electronics from damage. When the breaker trips, the entire electrical system shuts down. See figure 9. The reset button pops out when the breaker trips. Allow a minute or so for the electronics to rest. Push in the reset button to reset the breaker. If the breaker trips frequently, you may need to charge the batteries more often or have your authorized Mega Motion Provider perform a load test on the batteries. SECUREMENT POINTS Always secure the scooter in a forward-facing position in the vehicle. Attach the four tie-down straps to the designated securement points. See figures 10, 10A, and 10B. Tighten the straps to sufficiently remove all slack. Never attach tie-downs to adjustable, moving, or removable parts of the scooter such as armrests, shrouds, and wheels. These items should be removed. Position the anchor points for the rear tie-down straps directly behind the rear securement points on the scooter. The front tie-down straps should anchor to floor points that are spaced wider than the scooter to provide increased lateral stability. WARNING! Do not leave the scooter in freewheel mode when securing it for transport. WARNING! Ensure scooters are properly secured to the motor vehicle during transport. Scooters that are not properly secured can become a hazard to the user and to other vehicle passengers in the event of a crash, sudden stopping, or swerving, as the scooter could tip or slide out of place.

24 IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your scooter requires two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. They are recharged by an offboard charging system. Charge your scooter s batteries fully prior to using it for the first time. Keep the batteries fully charged to keep your scooter running smoothly. READING YOUR BATTERY VOLTAGE The battery condition meter on the tiller console indicates the approximate strength of your batteries using a color code. From right to left, green indicates fully charged batteries, yellow indicates a draining charge, and red indicates that an immediate recharge is necessary. See figure 11. To ensure the highest accuracy, the battery condition meter should be checked while operating your scooter at full speed on a dry, level surface. Figure 11. Battery Condition Meter CHARGING YOUR BATTERIES PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet. PROHIBITED! Removal of the grounding prong can create an electrical hazard. If necessary, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access. PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the scooter while the batteries are charging. Mega Motion recommends that you do not charge the batteries while the scooter is occupied. MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries. WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the scooter and the battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide adequate ventilation when charging the batteries. WARNING! You must recharge your scooter s batteries with the supplied off-board charger. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger. WARNING! Ensure that both ends of the charger power cord are clean and dry before plugging the charger power cord into the off-board charger port or the electrical outlet. WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before each use. Contact your authorized Mega Motion Provider if damage is found. WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger does not appear to be working correctly, contact your authorized Mega Motion Provider. WARNING! If the off-board battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to insert objects through these slots. WARNING! Be aware that the battery charger case may become hot during charging. Avoid skin contact and do no place on surfaces that may be affected by heat Endeavor X

25 IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING WARNING! If your off-board battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information. Follow these easy steps to charge your batteries safely: 1. Position your scooter close to a standard electrical outlet. 2. Remove the key from the key switch. 3. Make certain that the manual freewheel lever is in the drive (down) position. 4. Plug the 3-pin charger power cord into the offboard charger port. See figures 5 and Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the electrical outlet. We recommend that you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. 6. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the charger power cord from the electrical outlet and then from the off-board charger port. PLUGS INTO THE OFF-BOARD CHARGER PORT Figure 12. Off-board Charger PLUGS INTO WALL OUTLET NOTE: The LED lights on the charger indicate different charger conditions at various times: charger power on, charging in progress, and charging complete. Refer to the manual supplied with the charger for a complete explanation of these indicators. NOTE: There is a charger inhibit function on your scooter. The scooter will not run and the battery condition meter will not operate while the batteries are charging. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How does the charger work? When your scooter s battery voltage is low, the charger works harder, sending more electrical current to the batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and less electrical current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your scooter s batteries, but does not overcharge them. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for charging instructions. Can I use a different charger? Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are especially matched to the type, size, and chemical formulation of specific batteries. For the safest and most efficient charging of your scooter s batteries, we recommend use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your Mega Motion product only. Any charging method resulting in batteries being charged individually is especially prohibited. What if my scooter s batteries won t charge? Ensure the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals. Ensure both battery harnesses that extend from the batteries are plugged into their mating harness leading to the charger. Ensure both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.

26 IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How often must I charge the batteries? Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your scooter s batteries: All day scooter use on a daily basis. Infrequent or sporadic scooter use. With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your scooter s batteries. We designed the off-board charger so that it will not overcharge your scooter s batteries. However, you may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge them on a regular basis. Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and charging. If you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your scooter will be ready each morning. We recommend that you charge your scooter s batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use. If you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a time. Keep your scooter s batteries fully charged. Avoid deeply discharging your scooter s batteries. How can I ensure maximum battery life? Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your scooter s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Protect your scooter and batteries from extreme heat or cold. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. How can I get maximum range or distance per charge? Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions smooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. Often, you will face hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind, all of which affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per battery charge. Always fully charge your scooter s batteries prior to daily use. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kpa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires. Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken or soft surfaces as possible. Limit your baggage weight to essential items. Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion. Avoid stop-and-go driving. What type and size of battery should I use? We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps. WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel- Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions. NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps Endeavor X
